Human-Covenant war

The Office of Naval Intelligence's Section Three had facilities on the planet, to which several SPARTAN-II augmentation chemical precursors were sent without Dr. Catherine Halsey's consent, likely in order to be researched for Project CHRYSANTHEMUM.[7]

Algolis Invasion

Main article: Algolis Invasion
Atriox, defying the Covenant on Algolis.

The colony was attacked by the Covenant in 2549,[1] some time prior to March 28.[Note 1] During the battle, the planet's civilians were evacuated while Marines from the UNSC Marine Corps of Engineers made a last stand against Covenant forces. The UNSC destroyer UNSC The Heart of Midlothian was en route to the planet to secure a powered armor before the facility was attacked. The planet's survivors escaped in transport ships to a UNSC frigate in orbit that carried them to safety.[8][4] The battle also resulted in the formation of the Banished as well.[9] Overall, it's unknown what happened to the colony following the battle,[3] though it evidently went un-glassed by the Covenant.[1]
